There are two new articles over at the iamcal publishing empire:
Human Readable Numbers
Google Highlighting

When you need to buy something specific, the Internet always saves the day. What did people do before the Internet?

With christmas coming up, I know you'll want to buy me cool stuff. Because you love me, right?

This page is quite disturbing. Is it a hoax? I don't think so. [via pep]

On the first day of christmas, my true love gave to me, a list of the CPAN directory tree. The perl advent calendar is festive and contains useful info on some great perl modules.

Just a quick query on your human readable numbers...
Isn't five hundred spelt five-hundred? Sixty-four? I can never remember...

People starved to death before the internet was invented. That, and Peter North was unheard of and the Houston 600 was a place...

Posted by cal, 23:01, 4th December 2002:

Posted by jeff, 23:35, 4th December 2002:

Posted by cal, 08:22, 5th December 2002:

I thought that was your job chandler!
Posted by eatmypiano, 10:51, 5th December 2002:
 
I notice that the aritcles in the publishing empire are blank. Does this mean anything? Like you got bored half way through....
Posted by cal, 12:34, 5th December 2002:
 
two of them are blank and two are half done. the blank ones are at home somewhere
Posted by chandler, 13:52, 5th December 2002:
 
"I thought that was your job chandler!"

Yeah, I'm working Mr Mallet round to the idea. I think he might be persuaded. As long as we all sign a contract saying that we won't batter him to death with his own oversized spectacles.

Now this has got to be worth a couple of stamps:

If you'd like Timmy's autograph, you need to send a stamped addressed envelope to:

Timmy Towers
PO Box 100
Cookham
Berkshire
SL6 9XX

:D

Posted by Sul, 15:28, 5th December 2002:
 
Yeah but in Hartlepool! I've been to a few of their away games. They deserve to have their gene pool cleansed a little.
